Guest / VAMP / Report post Posted November 23, 2003 Hi everyone I'm way new to the game. Can anyone tell me how to get started (get me to the main menu of the game where I can log on to it)? I downloaded what presumed to be the game but how do I get it to work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Killerlamb Report post Posted November 23, 2003 Go to your compress folder and extract all the files in it then you will have a folder with a program called "EL" Create a desktop shortcut, click it, and begin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pyderz Report post Posted November 23, 2003 Go to the file where you downloaded it. There will be a file called el, click on it and that will be the opening screen. Read what i says and then click. This will be your log in screen. Choose a new character, things are self explanatory, and then get into the game. Make sure you read the newbies guide and manual at www.eternal-lands.com first too. :wink: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tropicano Report post Posted November 23, 2003 download winzip http://www.winzip.com[url/] then install it, take the zip file, right-drag and drop, choose unzip to directory [........] and off you go. open the dir and run the el.exe file. Now you are in the so called main menu! good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest / VAMP / Report post Posted November 23, 2003 Okay I have XP and I extracted all the files but I'm not getting an icon to start the game. What am I doing wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pyderz Report post Posted November 24, 2003 Go to the folder named el_000_880. Open that. Choose the icon that is named el and has a basic application icon. That will start the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tropicano Report post Posted November 24, 2003 yeah, as for the moment the game doesnt install with a shortcut and start-menu shortcuts. This might be impented later on, who knows. But now youll have to make your own shortcut if you would like one. But as he said,just open the folder and look or a executable file named: EL, or EL.exe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pyderz Report post Posted November 24, 2003 Then if you want. You can change the icon of the EL.exe to the icon that is supplied in the folder. Then you can move that to your desktop and then it looks all nice. :wink: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
